Today I’m trying to download an image created with FOG 1.3.2 to another computer, and then I discovered the resizable partitions are not expanding. So I update the server to the latest dev version. Still get the same problem, then I upload a new image with the FOG 1.3.5, then downloaded it again, still get the same problem, but better, this time Windows partition seems expanded, but the Linux partiton is still only 22GB.

@Tom-Elliott You are right, the two files are identical. I will try again. but will let you know the result tomorrow, I’m afraid I don’t have enough time to finish both upload and download before I leave for today. Thanks!

At least the original and new sizes appear to be expanding on the same originating disk, I have not yet had the chance to test orig < smaller drive and orig > larger drive yet. Just same size disk for now. All appears to be working atleast in that regard.

@Tom-Elliott No, I didn’t change any partition settings, I only installed some updates, and then started the upload process. And this is a newly created image, I might have changed it to non-resizable, and then changed back to resizable, but these changes are on FOG WebGUI, before I issue the upload task.

Did you mess with the partition layouts before having fog capture it? It looks, to me, like this is the case. The d1.partitions should be different from the d1.minimum.partitions files. d1.partitions is the “original” layout, so if they are the exactly the same, then you will have some issues.

@Tom-Elliott There is something wrong. After I reinstalled FOG, uploaded a resizable partition, then downloaded the image to another computer. Both the base image computer and the new computer’s partition table got changed.

When I define the image, I used Linux as the Operating System, but it looks like the partition table changes are only affecting the Linux partitions, should I choose a different Operating System for the image?

Now I feel regret, I should have upload a non-resizable image first, I didn’t expect it will change the partition table when uploading an image…
